Yes, 2026 is here and there are a few January automotive and motorsport events lined up in Utah and the surrounding area.

Not much is happening in Utah’s automotive and motorsport world in December, with a few exceptions further south.

While motorsport events and car shows are fewer by November, there are still great things to see or get involved with in Utah and the surrounding area, especially further south. Speaking of south, Las Vegas host great events in November including: NHRA drag racing; Formula 1; the SEMA/AAPEX Show, which includes Utah companies and participants; and Open Wheel Showdown oval track racing, where several Utah teams participate.

It’s the perfect time of year to drive your canyon runner up the mountain to check out the fall leaves. And while some motorsports organizations’ seasons wrap up in September, others are still going strong through October and beyond. There are also plenty of car shows and other events in October.
